Summary

When Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) leads Immortan Joe’s (Hugh Keays-Byrne) five wives in a daring escape, she becomes allies with Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy) and battles against the warlord through the Wasteland.

Is The Plot Interesting?

I wasn’t to keen on the plot in the beginning and I didn’t know what to expect but as the movie progressed I started liking it more and more. Even though it is technically just one long car chase there’s never a dull moment.

Is The Acting Good?

Charlize Theron is simply amazing as Imperator Furiosa – I can’t think of a better person for that role. I also enjoyed Nicholas Hoult’s performance as Nux; I thought it was original and clever.

Is The Directing Good?

George Miller knew what he had to do to make this movie a success and he didn’t stop until he did. I can imagine filming this movie was mentally draining because of the large scale but he had the determination to see it through.

Is The Cinematography Good?

The cinematography in Mad Max: Fury Road is amazing. They use lots of beautiful panning shots going around the trucks during the car chase scenes and it makes you wonder how they got some of those shots.

Is It Worth Watching?

Mad Max: Fury Road is a beautifully shot film that has great directing, a great villain and a great female lead. All the cast are amazing and have good chemistry! What more do you want from a movie?

I think this was a shock winner for most of us. I honestly had no interest until after it came out and everybody was talking about how much of a feminist film it was. I decided to give it a shot specifically because of the reviews (which isn’t something I do often) and I ended up LOVING this one.

Sure, it isn’t a ‘watch over and over again’ movie, but it was really, really impressive.
